Ice Cube says WAGMI - and a bunch of other stuff too (a Defiant Bonus Podcast style NFT show)
I got to interview Ice Cube. It was one of those pinch yourself moments. But we mustn't forget, this is just a man and so I treated the conversation as such. No fangirling, just get into it on NFTs, his legacy and what he wants to achieve in this space.
And yeah, I know we covered some of this ground in the big special episode. But this is Cube and he's earned this. Trevor Jones is the artist he picked and having the two on the same Zoom chat was surreal in the extreme.
